Even with Pokemon launch Switch still 100K behind in Europe. Sony has the continent locked up.

Great Switch sales, not sure how those numbers are bad like stated here, but to each their own

Still adjustments to come. These numbers look off.

It's been that way for some time. NA is usually a battleground, EU is Sony's, and Japan is Nintendo's.

Definitely. Sony will never be dented in EU

If those PS4 numbers are true...., PS4 is going to be the disappointment of the month by quite a margin....awful numbers.

Is this a joke? Why would anyone buy a PS4 console in North America exactly one week before there's a gigantic sale on the PS4?

I'm shocked it's near the Switch globally on the Pokemon release week. I was expecting it to be destroyed this week, like  3:1 or at least 2:1 ratio in favor of Switch.

Why anybody buys consoles every year before BF week then???

PS4 sold 800k this week a year ago, and 662k the week before that compared to ....agghh, it doesn't show anymore in the front page but i think it was something like 360-370k this year's last week and 533k this week. So, in a period of two weeks PS4 has already sold around 600k units less than last year worlwide....

If you don't find that disappointing, i do, because i expected better seales this year, or at least flat, but not this.

Well, in the case of the Switch this year, because Pokemon launched. As for the PS4, I have no idea. If you do, feel free to tell me.

It's not like Europe didn't have any Black Friday deals either.

It was a rhetorical question....

People always buy consoles before BF week or before christmas week, and what happened last year (and the years before) i was only showing those number to prove you that.

And what i meant to say with Switch is, that if the rumors from insiders that PS4 probably won November in USA are correct despite Pokemon launch, and with XB O way down this year because last year was XBO X launch, that means we will see a huge drop from total hardware sales this year.



The Holiday is about to begin, Ps4 could be having the best ones holiday ever if Sony priced it at 199.99$/€/¥ across the globe.

Switch with Smash & Pokemon is going to absolute crush 30M LT by December 31st.

PS4 will be at around ~91M I think.



Damm... a lot of Nintendo Investors.... sorry, fanboys are mad/angry because the PS4 sold only less than 100K in the release week of one of the biggest Nintendo Switch games?
